    Great progress Frederik, I'm also watching very closely. Are you glueing the two layers of plywood together with (lots of) epoxy? I've wondered about using a PU (D4) glue for this, it's cheaper and gap filling and it's probably what the ply is made from but it may be impossible to work with big sheets of ply fast enough and it won't seal the ply as well as epoxy. Anyone else have thoughts on this?

    Also, I'm intrigued by Chris Morejohn successfully going against all advice I've ever seen (including his friend Reuel Parker) and using polyester resin over plywood. Any thoughts on this?

    Hi Frederik,

    Thank you for sharing the build photos. I have been intrigued by Chris Morejohn's designs for some years now. Seeing photos of your boat build in a temporary shelter helps keep my dreams of building a boat alive.

    I would be interested in any details you care share, if you have time. I would like your opinion on how technically difficult it is to build this design. Have been able to do all the work 'single handed'?

    While I was checking the spelling of Mr. Morejohn's last name I noticed that Hogfish Maximus is for sale.

    Clogfish. Inspired by good old Dutch footwear.

    First layer of 10 mm sapele in place. Next layer to be 12 mm fir ply.

    Big boat..

    Gosh, you are doing a great job.  And now for planking!  It's so exciting when you start seeing a solid boat.
